“Deregulating innovation capital: The effects of the JOBS Act on biotech startups” by Craig Lewis and Joshua Tyler White

RAPS is pleased to announce that Chester Spatt (Carnegie Mellon University) will be the RAPS Keynote Speaker at Cavalcade North America 2022. The keynote will take place on Tuesday, May 24.

As part of our continued effort to increase access for authors worldwide, the SFS is implementing tiered submission fees for our journals. Authors who reside in middle-income economies will be eligible to pay a reduced submission fee and authors who reside in low-income economies will be eligible for a fee waiver. While our journals have always offered some waivers for economic hardship, we have now formally defined the waiver options to increase transparency.
